“When You reveal the mystery of Your mercy to us, there will not be enough of eternity to properly thank You for it.” Divine Mercy in My Soul # 1122
Someday, God willing (and it is His Will), when we are saints in His Kingdom and gazing upon the Mercy Seat, we will have all eternity to contemplate God’s Divine Mercy.
Imagining this moment, this morning in prayer, I wondered if I’ll even be able to wrap my arms around the fact that I am even there before His throne? The only reason will be that His Mercy is so great for St. Peter to even let me in the gates.
The Divine Mercy of God, poured out in Blood and Water from Calvary is so immense and overwhelming that even if all the saints of all time came together in a Heavenly ‘think group’, they could never even scratch the surface of understanding.
I spend a lot of time thinking and praying about and for God’s Divine Mercy – mostly because I know it is my only hope. The more I ponder upon the mercy of God, the more I read about it and study the writings of the saints on Mercy – especially my Patroness, St. Faustina – the more I realize I lack any understanding of the depth of the Divine Mercy found within the heart and very being of the Trinity. That overwhelms me. While lack of understanding might turn one away from some things (like me and math), this lack of understanding God’s Divine Mercy draws me further in.
Start today, focus on God’s Divine Mercy and how this has impacted, impacts and will impact your life. Close your eyes, before the Blessed Sacrament if possible. Imagine kneeling before God in Heaven (in adoration that’s what you’re doing). The, just meditate upon God’s Divine Mercy.
Pick up ‘Divine Mercy in My Soul’, ‘The Story of a Soul’ or one of many other books that help explain Mercy. Study now, and pray God give you wisdom and love of His Mercy. Enough to strive to be a Mercy Scholar.
